Psalm 139: Our Intimacy with God
Welcome to Chapel City Church! Thanks you for joining us for our time of worship here at Chapel City Church. We are so glad you are here! Today we will look at how intimate God is with each of us. We have looked at his sovereignty, that is his power and control over everything. But how does His “bigness” touch each of us personally? In Psalm 139 David beautifully…
A New Song for the New Year
Happy New Year, and welcome to Chapel City Church. The new year is a time of looking back and looking forward. We reflect on the year that has passed, and we rejoice in all that God has done. We look forward to a year where we make our plans, but trust that the Lord will guide our steps. As we come together on a day of transition from one year to another, it’s…
The Lord is Our Keeper
We are so glad that you are worshipping with us today. This week, we will work through Psalm 121, a reminder to God’s people of his constant help and protection. We live in a time of constant change and even threats. As we look at the world around us, it would seem that there are many reasons to be in fear. The people of Israel knew what it was to live under…
A Repetition of Rejoicing
We are glad that you have come to worship with us today. We use that word, worship, a lot. It means to assign value to something, to treat it as worthy of honor and praise. And that’s so appropriate as we consider who God is and what He has done. But if we are honest, there are times when thanksgiving is hard to come by. This week we will work through Psalm 136.…
A Song for the Sheep
It’s a wonderful thing to gather with God’s people to worship together through singing, study, and ministering to one another. There is something wonderful and familiar in coming together regularly in corporate worship. In fact, familiar things are often what bring us comfort, and the same can be said for biblical passages as well. One of the most familiar is…
Worship & Warning
We are thankful that you have joined us this week! The weather is still warm, but summer is definitely winding down. Kids are back in school, ministries are starting up again, and the pace of life seems to be picking up again for many of us. One of the great blessings of the Psalms is their ability to remind us of what truly matters. While life is constantly changing,…
Sweeter than Honey; More Precious than Gold
This week, many people will be making the final preparations before the start of another school year. It means backpacks, paper, folders, pencils, and brand new textbooks. Over the course of the year, students will spend hours reading and re-reading to prepare for classes, quizzes, and tests. This week, like every week, most of us will carry a book to church with us. So…
The Blessing of Brotherhood
This week we will worship together through song and study, but we will also gather together to celebrate communion. The celebration of the Lord’s Supper is one of those things that binds us together as believers. We remember that each of us is sinful, and that our sin separates us from God. We remember that there is one savior, Jesus Christ, whose death on the cross…
Infinite & Intimate
We are moving into the last month of the summer already, and that means that many of us are preparing for transitions. For some, it is a transition back to a busier work schedule. Many are headed back into ministries of all different kinds around the church. And for a significant number of our families, that means looking ahead to the new school year. As we do that,…
Confession is Good for the Soul
As we move through the book of Psalms, it is a blessing to see how God’s word ministers to us in every stage and situation of life. There are Psalms that give wisdom when we need understanding, Psalms that give us words of praise when our hearts are joyful, and Psalms that give voice to our cries of despair when life is difficult, dangerous, or downright unfair. The…
Dealing Daily with Difficulty
As we come together on this Fiesta week, we hope that you will be in prayer for our outreach to the community as we open our building, or that you will come and serve alongside of us as you are able. But why do we do these things? Why do we bother to interact with our neighbors, our co-workers, or our community at all? The reason, of course, is that we believe that they…
Suffering, Sorrow, & Salvation
For the last two weeks we have looked at Psalm 2 and Psalm 110. They are known as messianic Psalms because they point beyond the author’s own experience into the future and the promise of the messiah who was yet to come. In the coming weeks we are going to work through lament Psalms; songs of those who cry out to God in distress and turmoil. This week we are going…
